Being a survivor of domestic and sexual violence myself, I want to put together a team dedicated to using their positions in the non-profit community here in DC to attract more survivors to come forward, tell their stories, receive the help they often do not seek for numerous reasons, and combat the silent epidemic of violence towards women. We have several projects in the works geared towards awareness, interactive education, and therapy through the use of art that we really need help bringing to fruition.
